UK: New Medium Helicopter (NMH) Programme reaches next competition stage

The next stage of the New Medium Helicopter (NMH) Programme has been announced by the UK Minister for Defence Procurement, James Cartlidge.

On September 12, at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition Lockheed Martin announced its intention to participate in the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) New Medium Helicopter (NMH) requirement. It outlined its team of UK partners and the benefits of choosing the advanced, Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopter to replace the UK’s aging mixed medium helicopter fleet. Lockheed Martin also outlined its plan to collaborate with those UK partners to create a multitude of opportunities for UK industry, including jobs and opportunities in export, manufacturing and future technology development.
